To view the following window, click L3 Features > OSPF > OSPFv3 > OSPFv3 Global Settings, as shown below: Figure 4- 63. OSPFv3 Global Settings window The following parameters are used for general OSPF configuration: Parameter Description OSPFv3 Router ID User may enter a 32-bit number in the form of an IPv4 address that uniquely identifies the router in the OSPFv3 domain. The setting 0.0.0.0 means auto-selected. The Switch will select the maximum interface's IPv4 address to be the router ID. The default value of OSPFv3 router ID is 0.0.0.0 (auto-selected). Current Router ID Displays the OSPFv3 Router ID currently in use by the Switch. This router ID is displayed as a convenience to the user when changing the Switch's OSPFv3 Router ID. State Allows OSPFv3 to be enabled or disabled globally on the Switch without changing the OSPFv3 configuration. OSPFv3 Area Settings This window allows the configuration of OSPFv3 Area IDs and to designate these areas as Normal or Stub. Normal OSPFv3 areas allow Link-State Database (LSDB) advertisements of routes to networks that are external to the area. Stub areas do not allow the LSDB advertisement of external routes. Stub areas use a default summary external route (0.0.0.0 or Area 0) to reach external destinations.
